pie. The two leading archbishops have
declared in favor of the arrested priest.
This Of course means that the whole Ro-
man Catholic population is against the
action Of the Tories. The march TO the jail
was in the nature of triumphal pro-
cession. It seems too, that not only are
the Irish opposed to the imprisonment,
but a majority of the English, Welsh and
Scotch also. They are opposed to i'm
possible rents. The incident will furnish
many reasons for debates, delays, and
distinctions in the House of Commons,
and once again riyets the attention Of the
reading world of the paramount Irish
difficulty on the land question.
Mr.. Gladstone in q letter to the editor
of the Baptist, declares in emphatic
terms that all other question must wait
upon the settlement OF the Irish question.
It was question involving social order,
and it was in the nature of questions in
volving such an issue to push their claims
to precedence over other questions.
The Gear is now regarded as holding
the key to the peace or ruin of Europe,
and there are many grave fears that he
may precipitste war, if for no other pur-
pose than distracting attention from the
anarchiaI condition of Russia. The only
consideration that makes European
peace more probable than week ago is
the fact that Italy has signed the treaty
with Germany and Austria. 1t is stated
to be now Bismarck's leading maneuvre
to induce England to join this alliance
too.
The pope is stated to be fairly con-
tent with the result of his recent inter-
vention with Germany, but the Roman
Cardinals, especially Czaki and his
friends, still fear that the Vatican is put
ting too much trust in Bismarck.
The triple alliance between Germany,
Austria and Italy, ia said to place each of
these Powers on an equal footing. All
will undertake the protection of indivi-
dual interests, the infringement of which
might disturb the peace of Europe.
The French newspapers of every
party concur in protesting against the
behavior and utterances OF De Leseeps
during his visit to Berlin. They say that
he ridiculously overrated his part as
peacemaker; that he was made Prince
Bismarck butt rather than his confidant;
and that his mission has been total
failure in assisting to allay the irritation
existing between the two nations.
Cardinal Taschereau was installed
Saturday as pastor of the Church of
Santa Maria della Vittoria at Rome with
imposing ceremonies, which were parti-
cipated in by Cardinal Gibbons and
many other cardinals and dignitaries of
the church.
The funeral of professor of uni
versity in st. Petersburg. on Sunday, was
made the occasion of demonstration of
devotion to the Gar.
1t is expected that the French Gov
eminent will dissolve the Municipal
Council of Marseilles because that body
has manifested approval of the Paris
Commune.
Prague advices ase to the effect that
an earthquake has destroyed the village
of Birkenberg, the inhabitants taking
refuge in Prague.
A destructive fire is reported from
Mandalay, in Burmah, by which much
valuable property belonging to Euro
peans and natives was destroyed.
1t is reported that Emperor William on
his birthday will proclaim Grown Prince
Frederick William co-Regent, with the
consent of the Bundesrath.
Mr. Parnell will oppose any Irish land
purchase bill based upon the existing
judicial rents, which, it is generally adj
mitted, are at least rs per cent too high.
Emperor William, on receiving the
French General, Marquis d'Abzac, said:
"Tell your compatriots that there is no
danger of war. SO long as live shall
use all my influence to maintain peace.
